Infrared is a wavelength of light that is invisible to the naked eye. Infrared rays have been shown to revitalize cells and metabolism. Infrared saunas do not get as hot as traditional saunas and have different benefits. Infrared heat penetrates deeper into the tissues without the potentially harmful effects of super high heat.

Far IR penetrates into the fat cells and causes vasodilation. This can stimulate metabolism, expel toxins and aid in weight loss.
Mid IR penetrates deeper into soft tissue which increases circulation and releases oxygen to injured areas.
Near IR is absorbed just below the surface of the skin and creates a sweat that promotes healing and revitalization.

SAUNA FAQs

What do I wear? Whatever you feel comfortable in (nothing at all if you please!) Just be sure anything you wear is free of plastic or metal and you bring a towel to sit on.

Who should NOT use the IR sauna? Avoid sauna use or consult your doctor if you have a serious heart or cardiovascular condition, uncontrolled blood pressure, are pregnant, have difficulty regulating body temperature, or are dehydrated or acutely ill.

What do I do while in the sauna? Meditate, stretch, read a book, or listen to music. It is not recommended to bring electronics into the sauna but you can connect your phone via the bluetooth speakers to listen to music or a guided meditation; and we all know we could use a little more time without phones in our hands!

Intermittent pneumatic compression uses sequential, rhythmic pressure to gently compress the legs and then release, creating a massage-like sensation that encourages circulation and helps move fluid through the lower extremities.

Compression boots are popular with athletes and active individuals as a way to wind down after exercise, and research suggests they may provide modest benefits for perceived soreness, fatigue, and recovery.

Red and near-infrared light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation, uses specific wavelengths of light to interact with cells and support natural cellular processes.

Research suggests photobiomodulation may influence cellular energy production, inflammation, circulation, and tissue repair, with growing evidence for its role in muscle recovery and soreness.

Stretch or sit in front of the mat while it stays hanging on the wall or unhook it and use it like a yoga mat on the ground.
